The new Jenoptik Light & Optics division, whose primary focus is supplying photonics solutions, showcased its new strategy at Photonics West, USA

The new high-performance galvo scanner, AGV-SPO, offers a larger field of view than conventional 2D scanners, reduces laser spot distortion, and is flexible enough to accommodate a wide range of laser wavelengths thanks to a large variety of mirror surfaces

II‐VI Incorporated has announced the introduction of its HIGHmodular processing head. This highly flexible product is typically used for laser welding and is designed with an embedded control unit

FAC lenses for laser systems are a key component in many innovative technologies. Batch sizes are expected to see another major increase thanks to the use of the lenses in additive manufacturing (3D printing).

Scanlab has added more materials-processing power control capabilities to its XL Scan solution for simultaneously controlling scan heads and XY stages

Edmund Optics has introduced its new Techspec λ/10 Laser Line Coated Windows. Laser line windows are ideal for protecting sensitive optical and electronic components in high power laser applications.

The size of the laser working spot of multi-kW fibre lasers or fibre-coupled lasers can be varied easily using AdlOptica’s new zoom collimator TrioFokus

Scanlab has introduced an additional variant of its entry-level basiCube scan head

Edmund Optics has introduced Techspec Laser Grade PCX Lenses with high surface quality and surface accuracy for a wide variety of high energy Nd:YAG laser applications

AdlOptics' new QuattroXX beam shaping optics are able to split the energy of a beam from a multi-kW fibre laser or a fibre-coupled laser and focus it into multiple points for welding, cladding, and brazing applications
